Hello, Windows 10 user of about a year now. I would like to switch to Linux (Ubuntu or Debian), but have a couple of questions.

  1. Is there a way to play steam games designed for Windows on Linux?/What are the drawbacks of doing this?
  2. Is there a way to transfer files from my old OS to the new one without using external drives (i dont have one ;-;)
  3. Is there a distro more suited to a Windows user going into linux rehab?
  4. Is there anything else I should be aware of?

TIA as always comrades and good day.

    I mean manjaro is fine if you're experienced, idk why they described it as scuffed. I'd still avoid recommending it to new users. Arch being super bleeding edge makes it prone to things being undertested and things getting busted. Manjaro unstable is a bit less prone to this and testing another step less prone, but I'd still recommend even more experienced people stay on just normal manjaro instead of testing or unstable.

      yeah, i mean i'd never tell someone that doesn't fuck with a unix terminal to touch anything remotely related to arch. i've had to bail myself out more than once from a stick.
